Thinking of You

A 'Thinking if You' card today to go into my box of ready-made cards. The Less is More Challenge this week is 'Yellow & Grey'. It's not a pair of colours I often think to use together, but I remembered a patterned paper pad I have with yellow, grey and black papers. I decided on a yellow and grey paper with bird cages.

I covered the card blank front with pale yellow card. In a piece of white card, slightly smaller than the card blank, I die cut a circle and attached the patterned paper behind the aperture. I die cut a frame using a MFT 'Stitched Circle Scallop Frames' die and attached it over the top. The bird is from a Joy! Crafts 'Lin & Lene - Birdcage + 3 birds' set of dies. The sentiment is an old wood mounted stamp, which was stamped in Versafine 'Smokey Grey'.

Lovely card Liz ! A great way to use your NBUS pattern paper and perfect for our challenge ! Love this bird die and the calligraphy of this sentiment ! Definitely a beautiful CAS card. Thanks for sharing and playing along with us at Less is More.

This is lovely! So elegant, and I adore the tiny scallops inside the frame <3 A great combination of patterned paper and elements to create a cohesive and very stylish look. Love it! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More :)

About Me

Welcome to my blog. In March 2012, I decided to cross another thing off my 'bucket list' and create my own blog. Why 'Crafty Sunflower'? Well.... for the last 13 years of teaching fulltime, a job I loved, my Reception class was called Sunflower Class. For more than 13 years I've collected anything sunflower related! I've enjoyed a variety of crafts for as long as I can remember and these days making cards is what I enjoy most. Having benefited from the inspiration of others, I hope to pass on some of my ideas to anyone who visits my blog. If you use any of my ideas please put a link back to my blog. Please do not copy my cards for competitions or publication.
